Thanks again.

My Report is HERE.

Does the flickering happen on all channels, or just certain channels?

What antenna are using and where is it located, inside or outside?

Are you using a preamp? If yes, what model?

Are there any trees or buildings in the signal path?

Where are you located?

It appears to be all channels, but I haven't gone through all of them to verify that yet.

I'm using a Terk HDTVa that has a built in amplifier that is located in my attic. Other than my roof, there is nothing in the way of the signal.

I'm in Bel Air, MD.

The performance of tuners can vary from brand to brand, and even from model to model within the same brand. But, the performance of tuners for the same model should be similar. If not, the tuner is defective.

When I test tuners I use a splitter to feed both tuners at the same time to get a real-time comparison. The strength of OTA signals is constantly changing, so removing the coax from one TV and connecting it to the other isn't the most accurate way, but it is good enough for your present test.

To make an accurate comparison I insert a variable attenuator before the splitter and make the signal progressively weaker to see which TV drops out the signal last:

I don't have a variable attenuator, but I hope to have more information later once I test the new TV from the same drop as older TV that works fine. If it works fine at the new location, I've got some more investigating to do about the other location. If not, it sounds like I have to decide to try the same model again hoping that this tuner is defective or get a new TV altogether.
